Apple just revealed the seventh-generation iPad Pro.

Apple announced the new iPad Pro during its “Let Loose” hardware event.

The M4 is built using an improved version of the 3nm process.

Additionally, the M4 offers dynamic caching and hardware-accelerated ray tracing support for enhanced gaming and lightning-fast 3D rendering.

This is, in Apple’s words, the most powerful AI chipset in any consumer-grade unit.

Launching the M4 chipset in an iPad is a bizarre, ballsy move.

Like most people, I use the iPad for lightweight tasks.

I’ll never be able to push this tablet to its limit.

Apple is using an OLED panel in both the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro.

This panel, which replaces the mini-LED display of previous models, provides asubstantialboost in screen quality.

While manufacturers likeSamsunghave been quick to adopt OLED, Apple has been relatively slow.

Unlike mini-LED, OLED does not require a backlight.

The 11-inch flavor is 5.3mm thick (down from 5.9mm) and weighs 0.98 pounds.

Finally, the new iPad Pro’s selfie camera is placed in a landscape orientation.

Rival tablet brands, such asAmazon Fire, have already shown that the landscape-oriented camera is a good idea.

We’re waiting for clarification from Apple.
